I have been seeing the same issue. Did you find a resolution or open a bug report?

Thanks @BearWithBeard it is working now.

@BearWithBeard said in Sensebendermicro.ino verify errors:

And finally, sha204_lib_return_codes.h and sha204_library.h can be obtained from the Security Personalizer sketch. If you're going to copy and paste those files into the Arduino project folder, you may need to replace the <...> brackets around the included file with "..." (e.g. #include "sha204_library.h"), or else the IDE might not find them.

I forgot I had to change the <...> brackets around the included file with "..." for the referenced libraries when copied locally. I also got platform.io setup so I'm going to transition to using it going forward in order to help pin the dependencies.

Thanks @TRS-80 I started down the path of setting up Platform.io for that reason. Currently using it for building Marlin firmware but have not set it up for the MySensors yet. The library files all appear to be in MySensors Libraries so I don't know why it cannot find them:

sha204_lib_return_codes.h
sha204_library.cpp
sha204_library.h

@PRGelBueno did you ever resolve the error? I'm seeing the same issue and have gone through the same troubleshooting steps to no avail.

SensebenderMicro:66:10: fatal error: sha204_lib_return_codes.h: No such file or directory

I think I might be having a similar issue on the slim node. It seems to work fine when pulled down by the circuit but enters an endless loop between the time based interrupt and pin when the circuit is open and being pulled up.

What value of resistor are using for you pull up and were you having the issue on both rising/falling edge?

Temped by EEVblog BM235 Multimeter especially given it comes with some nice silicone leads.

The flukes are very nice though!

Any thoughts on a case (ebay/ali) for homemade PSUs?

@sundberg84 I updated MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS from 1 to 4 in MyConfig.h

This might help with you secondary controller issue.

@sundberg84 For me running MSysC appears to have no impact although it will eventually lock up also (1 hr+). What revision of the libraries are you using? The ethernet gateway used to handle 4 connections simultaneously which I think may be configurable in the dev branch.

Thanks for the reply sunberg84.

I have Myscontroller and openLuup but even with them off I get the same reset behaviour. I'm actually running Domoticz in response to openLuup locking up on sensor inclusion. Do your logs look similar (resets every 30 seconds) if you have a secondary controller running?

I have an ethernet gateway setup using an Uno with the Wiznet W5100 Shield (one with SD Card Slot). Previously been using it with Vera but due to UI7 getting corrupted during an upgrade looking to transfer to either Domoticz or openLupp.

Currently attempting to get this working on the development branch but was seeing the same behaviour on 1.5 stable branch.

In Domoticz I am connecting to the gateway but it resetting the connection every 30 seconds:

I have tried various settings regards SOFTSPI and MY_W5100_SPI_EN but it is still behaving the same. Is this normal or can you please recommend what I should be looking at for troubleshooting?

Is it possible to use the same sensors with both ethernet and MQTT? I am currently using the ethernet gateway with vera but I would like to try MQTT/OpenHab. I would like to see the same sensors in both environments. Is the possible use the mutt gateway with vera?

Thanks in advance.

If you need a specific quantity of boards the use a more expensive board house. The proto pack will be 10 +/- 1 boards.

You could use a bi-stable latching relay which would not draw power after it finished actuating.

@egbertje;

The battery percentage is associated with the parent Arduino Node in the vera UI.
I have some LDRs ordered from Ebay so that is the next step. I had previously used the BH1750 I2C sensor in a multi sensor with the 1.3 lib but I want to debug on its own as it seemed to be giving unexpected readings.

@codenea The instructions are pretty much from the main page although if I get a chance I try to draw it up and post some pics. My setup not very pretty yet with perf board and jumper wires. A dedicated PCB would be nice.

@waynehead99 Are you using the new 1.4 Lib?

Here is a version I'm currently using that makes use of interrupts so might be more suitable for a battery driven DHT/Motion multi sensor. It also includes the battery monitoring. Any feedback or improvements would be appreciated.

Thanks @Yveaux. Its on the list but it be a while before funds recover to get another toy.

Would using a pull-down resistor before more efficient than using the internal pull-up?

I'm just running the current though a fluke 189 so likely not very accurate vs the uCurrent. Should give rough order of magnitude at least.

Just reran transmit test using the fast min max and peak is now 25mA!

BTW, Did you build the uCurrent yourself?

I am trying to build a mailbox sensor myself using a reed switch. I have 3.3v mini pro with the regulator cut per the battery power directions. (http://www.mysensors.org/build/battery).

Modified the binary sketch to wake on interrupt on pin 3. Currently I have all the de-bounce logic commented out to make the interrupt work. What issues might this cause and should I be looking at adding debounce back in?

Measuring current when sleeping with magnetic target far (i.e. open circuit) I am reading 7.6 uA and ~100 uA when it is target near. Ideally i would like these reversed as the sensor will spend the majority of it time with target near. Is there anything I can do to reduce the target near current, such wiring a external resistor?

One option would be to find some normally closed reed switches but I wanted to explore other options first.

BTW, Peak current when radio is transmitting is 6.13 mA.

Thanks,
Brendan
